Sole Source is a great, cheap(er) way to stock up on loads of different nuts, dried fruits, beans/legumes and basic but also fancy grains and the like(think brown rice but also quinoa, amaranth and Himalayan pink salt.) They have a pretty good selection of different flours, oils and miscellaneous items such as organic tamari, honey and washing liquids. For those among you who lean towards the paleo method of eating, it’s a perfect way to stock up on tons of coconut oil(they don’t have coconut aminos, I asked), coconut flour and sugar, among others. Bring your own containers for liquids, or you can buy them there, but they are slightly pricy. They also have candy bins if you’ve got little ones(or have a sweet tooth!)

I really hate these stores … hate them for feeding my obsession with nuts … hate that I can go in and pick up kilo’s of the stuff. Hate that they stock a range of oil and vinegar for you to pour to your hearts content. From plain and flavoured almonds, to pistachios, to the sweetest cranberries and blueberries, mixed fruit, coconut, mango, chocolate covered everything, seeds, grains and oats, granola, spices and tea. The idea is to keep the stock in large white buckets and let the customer take as much(or as little) as they require. Moral of the story? This place rocks it so remember to bring your own containers(or use their brown paper bags) and just scoop till you’re stuffed. Tip: I always get some dark chocolate covered blueberries for the drive home. You’re welcome!

Great new shop that sells unpackaged bulk foods — nuts, dried fruit, teas, chocolates, grains, flour… you get the idea. Come on in and measure out exactly how much you need into a paper bag, weigh it yourself if you need to, no plastic packaging to throw away. Quite a good selection of organic, and conventional dry goods. Also some gluten and dairy free things too! There should be more of this kind of shopping I say!!!
